Joan Byrd to discuss the art of Harvey K. Littleton

City Lights Bookstore will celebrate the launch of Harvey K. Littleton’s A Life in Glass with Western Carolina University’s ceramics instructor Joan Byrd at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 27.

Byrd was a member of Littleton’s first glassblowing class at the University of Wisconsin. Benefiting from close access to the artist and his personal archives, the book is illuminated by many unpublished archival photographs and a detailed chronology.
